Hey everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself to you folks. I am new here on the board and recently acquired a '74 vette. This car was purchased by my father in 1973 and he was the original and only owner ever since. I have always absolutely loved that car and have great memories of my dad and I crusing around in it.
Well, he surprised me last weekend and drove it down from Ohio to North Carolina to give it to me for my 40th birthday! I was speechless! I have always been a vette fan and loved that car and now I have got my own. I am not much of a car person (something I didn't pick up from my father) but I have already gotten the books, catalogs, manuals and join this website. I want to thank you in advance for putting up with all my simple and/or complex questions. I look forward to being apart of this group.

Hello Rob,
Welcome
That is one neat story. This site has a great group of people, and I'm sure someone will be able to help you with anything that has to do with your vette.
Enjoy your new toy.

Well I also just turned 40 this year, but if I was going to do any vette swappin I'd have to give my dad my vette. He doesn't care much for them 
Go figure. He thinks mine is just a waste of money. Hmm maybe he's got a point. Oh well I still love it.

Welcome...!!!
You're one lucky guy to know the complete history of your new toy. Most of us can only dream about having that information.

There's nothing like taking ownership of a Vette that has been in your family for most of your life.
I am the proud owner of my mom's 73 coupe that she purchased in 1973. Lots of memories over the years with that car.
